Remember that unjust critisism is often a disquised compliment.
Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
It never hurts a fool to appear before an audience, for his capacity is not a capacity for feeling.
Do the very best you can.
Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.
When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade.
Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.
Fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic.
Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.
You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
One of the most appalling comments on our present way of life is that half of all the beds in our hospitals are reserved for patients with nervous and mental troubles, patients who have collapsed under the crushing burden of accumulated yesterdays and fearful tomorrows. Yet a vast majority of those people would be walking the streets today, leading happy, useful lives, if they had only heeded the words of Jesus: Have no anxiety about the morrow; or the words of Sir William Osler; Live in day-tight compartments.
The chronic kicker, even the most violent critic, will frequently soften and be subdued in the presence of a patient, sympathetic listener— a listener who will be silent while the irate fault-finder dilates like a king cobra and spews the poison out of his system.
